Mantid elate me

Mantid are probably the deadliest rares in Pandaria, as their mechanics have the fewest countermeasures.Windsong is a Mantid's weakest ability. The Mantid gains attack damage and movement speed, and cannot be snared, rooted, or slowed. Be ready to heal or use a defensive cooldown.Tornado creates a persistent whirlwind that orbits your location when the spell was cast, dealing massive damage if it comes in contact with you. Try to place these in locations you can stay out of for a while, but be ready to deal with multiples as they last long enough for two or three to be active at the same time.Blade Flurry is a Mantid's most lethal attack, dealing massive damage in a cone in front of the Mantid. The Mantid remains stationary and facing the same direction from the moment he starts to cast the spell, so it can be avoided simply by running through him, but the cast time is very brief and latency can often cause you to take a tick of damage even if you are clearly out of the area of effect. Stunning the Mantid during the channel will end the spell, but this isn't recommended as the spell is totally harmless and effectively a self-stun if you're not standing in it, and if you are then you're likely to be dead before you can get the stun off.
